Can there ever be a Great Indian ‘State of the Nation’ novel?

Indian novels often focus on specific regions rather than the entire nation. This is due to India's immense diversity. Authors find success by detailing a single city or a culturally similar area. Novels like Devika Rege's Quarterlife and Anjum Hasan's History's Angel exemplify this approach. Anuradha Marwah's Aunties of Vasant Kunj also achieves universality through a smaller narrative scope.
